For those keeping track, this is our 4th attempt at adventure vehicle. Many people wonder why, out of all the myriad vehicle choices, we’d choose an ambulance. This post will attempt to explain why an ambulance may be one of the best choices out there for inexpensive overlanding vehicle. [Dachary adds: inexpensive overloading vehicle for us. […]

Traveling with dogs We’ve traveled long distances with dogs in a sidecar to Colorado, and Nova Scotia. We took them in a Vanagon to Arizona and around most of the continental US in a Subaru Outback. We’ve slept with them in tents, in the Vanagon, and in many hotels. So, we’ve got some experience. Here’s […]

The Backstory I’ve been stressed at work. I’ve needed to take a vacation for a while, but life has conspired against that. My last plan was abandoned due to us finding and buying a particularly nice house, and you kind-of need to be around to fill out all the paperwork. Dachary’s going to a conference […]

Buffalo, NY to Cambridge, MA (kay) I was awoken to the sound of 20-something chattering far too loudly in the hall outside our door. I so wanted to stick my head out and say “Really?… _REALLY?!” but I was naked. Eventually they wandered off, but soon thereafter Lita started staring at me. So, I got […]

Lexington NE to Peru IL (Kay) I argued against today’s post. She was having none of that. “No!” she said, “We must blog alllllllll the days!” or…. something like that. I may be exaggerating slightly. Before we hit the road today, she took a call from a client, then wrote up a couple newsletters for […]

Winnemucca NV – Rock Springs – WY (Kay) We got up early today because we knew we would be crossing a time zone and loosing an hour today. Just outside of town, we started commenting on the curious cloud that had been pushed down along the mountain range before us. Then, we found ourselves driving […]

Seattle WA to Tumwater WA (Kay) As per usual, Lita informs us that it’s time to get up and go for a walk. While I’m taking care of that Dachary starts researching the place she has an appt. with. We booked it from the road thinking that any place that prominently advertises itself as dealing […]

Kalispell MT to Bellingham WA to Seattle WA (Kay) Day 9 was… a lot of driving. there’s no direct way across the state because of the cascade mountains. So, you end up going south around them. In the morning Dachary spent maybe an hour trying to figure out where we should stop for the night. […]

Missoula MT to Kalispell MT (Kay) We snuck out of the house without incident. Well, mostly. Jeff’s dog started barking when it realized we were all going outside without it. At the end of the road we plotted our route, and set off for Glacier National Park’s west entrance. As has proven to be the […]

(Kay Eau Claire, WI – Dickinson, ND) Today, was a day of driving… We got up. She exercised. We eschewed the almost non-existent continental breakfast and went to McDonalds. Despite her not being much of a fan of McDonalds in any form, her meal disappeared in record speed. We drove. The dogs slept. We […]
